Hadith 963
۞
9-19 Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Imran al-Ash’ari, on the authority of Musa ibn Umar, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Sin’an, on the authority of Abi Sa’id al-Qimat, on the authority of someone who linked it up to Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB), “God’s Prophet (MGB) established the alms-tax upon nine things and he forgave other things. They are: wheat, barley, dates, raisins, gold, silver, cows, sheep and camels.’ Someone asked, ‘How about corn?’ The Imam (MGB) became angry and said, ‘
I swear by God that in the Prophet’s (MGB) lifetime sesame seeds, corn and birds’ seeds were all available.’ He was told, ‘It is said that these did not exist at the time of the Prophet (MGB). That is why he (MGB) has only established the alms-tax on those nine items.’ The Imam (MGB) became angry again and said, ‘They lie. The Prophet’s (MGB) explicit order was to forgive everything else. One may only forgive what exists. I swear by God that the alms-tax has been made obligatory on nothing else but these nine things. Whoever wishes can accept it and anyone who doesn’t wish can deny it and become an atheist.’”
9-19 حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا محمد ابن يحيى العطار، عن محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى بن عمران الاشعري، عن موسى بن عمر عن محمد بن سنان، عن أبي سعيد القماط، عمن ذكره، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
وضع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله الزكاة على تسعة وعفا عما سوى ذلك: الحنطة والشعير والتمر والزبيب والذهب والفضة والبقر والغنم والابل. فقال السائل: فالذرة؟ فغضب ثم قال: كان والله علي عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله السماسم والذرة والدخن وجميع ذلك فقيل: إنهم يقولون: لم يكن ذلك على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وإنما وضع على التسعة لما لم يكن بحضرته غير ذلك، فغضب وقال: كذبوا فهل يكون العفو إلا عن شيء قد كان ولا والله ما أعرف شيئا عليه الزكاة غير هذا فمن شاء فليؤمن ومن شاء فليكفر
